Weather-resistant, waterproof, and cheaper than the indoor version, plastic outdoor rugs give you an outdoor room feel

Is it a... …water gun …corn peeler …industrial cork screw …caulk gun …apple core extractor (Answer after the jump.)

If you've ever strained to see the bubble on a level while working in dark, shadowy spaces, then you're going to love the new line of FatMax lighted levels from Stanley Tools. Each aluminum box-beam level is equipped with tiny, but superbright LED lights that illuminate the vials and the entire edge of the tool, making it easy to not only see the bubble, but also to mark the line. In fact, the LEDs are so bright, you can use the level as substitute worklight when searching for a dropped screw or reference mark.

Had I known about Bosch's new super compact 4V Max Screwdriver I would have spared myself several bumps of the funnybone last weekend while doing some finishing work on my bathroom's vanity sink cabinet. My bathroom is, shall we say, cozy, so anyone fixing anything to do with the sink has to get in some moderately challenging yoga poses to get the job done right.

You'd be crazy not to want to use less than half the energy you use now on cooling. Or, you could just be without a DuHybrid air-conditioning system by DuCool.

Indoor-style plastic rugs create an outdoor room look without the fuss

What is it – corn peeler or caulk gun?

Stanley’s bright idea: Lighted levels

A tiny drill that’s enormously useful (and glows in the dark!)

Use 60% less energy on cooling with DuCool’s DyHybrid air-conditioning
